Hi thanks for your reply. since this is my first time using my setup im not sure what you want to see so ill cover all bases. I thought it was designed to keep is within 0.1C? but yeah its probably keeping it within 1.0 degree C. i'v just set it to keep the beer at 40C i did alter a setting to...

Yeah it's Kviek yeast. First time using one.

Hi thanks for prompt reply. Yes it has a 50w tube heater inside. And a fan that's constantly running. All set up correctly in fermentrack.as long it's not freezing 9lI'll leave it and keep an Eye on it cheers.

Hi everyone me again. Got my build finished. Appreciate your help. Think my problem with the my temp probs was a dodgy psu and wiring. Bought the shield and pcb all good now. Just made a yeast starter for a brew coming up so thought I'd try it out. It seems to be working OK however after a...

Thanks for the diagram. I will try to copy it tonight. I have been connecting the gnd pin on the probe to ground on the wemos with a resistor between 5v and data. Maybe that's why it won't work. From that diagram are the data and gnd wires connected or just passing over each other? Thanks for...

So after your advice I uploaded the test sketch to a wemos mini. And it failed To See any devices. Having read a little More and just to rule anything out. What size resistor do you think I should use with roughly 2.5 to 3m cable to the probe from the esp? Running on 5v? Would 4.7k be incorrect?

Thanks. Just so I'm understanding you correctly. By saying the 3.3v pull Up do you mean wire the data line to pin d6 then 2 resistors 4.7k resistors in parallel to the 3.3v source? And power the probe using 5v source. Thanks

Many thanks for all your replies. I thought 5v on the esp was exactly that. I will try with powering the sensors from my dedicated 5v supply. Can't test on the 3v as I don't have any 2.2k resistors. Also thanks for the Brew flasher idea. Never heard of it. I have a screen connected so should...

Sorry forgot to mention that. Yeah iv been using one of them. I don't understand why it works on my test arduino but not to the esp8266 with fermentrack on. Iv tried new esp8266 and reflashing them to.

Hi everyone, I have been building my controller box over the last few weeks but have hit a hurdle I can't seem to overcome and it's starting to annoying me. I just want to brew some beer. No matter how I connect my temperature sensors they fail to be recognised by the fermentrack interface...
